Gamers vs journalism

X-Zine Says: "I'm tired of walking to navigate the most (most prestigious) sites, and whenever I find a review, broadly speaking, 80% of unnecessary information and baseless analogies and texts full of grammatical elitism. It is very funny look at an "analysis" of a game like Call of Duty: Black Ops where the main theme is "Campaign Mode" and the rest is sold as sausages for free, tied to beer cans. It's so hard to realize that anyone who buys a game like COD or only, exclusively playing ONLINE!"

Jornalists / Games .. it doesn't fit. lol

[BLACKBOIJONES]

Who cares.. Journalist is just some1 like u and me so our opinion is as valid as there.

[Psipunisher]

i think is differente ´cause gamers play for fun......journalist receive money for sometimes say whatever shit about a game.....even sometimes with a 10 mins of gameplay........so.....

Thats true too. Thing is though these journalist have the power to shape gaming development. If game reviews score low, game devs look at these pathetic gaming sites to get feedback on what to change, what works, what doesn't, even though most journalist speak only for the vocal minority of people in gaming.

For example. Ive been playing rpg's since the NES. My favorite games in the world are Dragon Warrior 4, Skies of Arcadia, FFX, Xenogears, and many other turn based rpg's. Everything was fine. Action rpg's and turn based rpg's lived in Harmony all the way till this gen. Now most journalist are determined on destroying my favorite genre. They say jrpg's lack the innovation, and the combat is stale. I say to hell with these assholes. They dont even game for fun anymore. They just get paid to give their feelings towards games. Most of these journalist are some of the most boring pieces of shit I've ever seen.

Gamers vs journalism

In the end its always opinions, does making you a Journalist more factual, don't think so from what I've see over the years.

Here is the difference

Legend of Zelda best game ever - Total opinion
Uncharted 2 best game ever - Total opinion
Halo 3 best game ever - Total opinion
Half-Life 2 best game ever - Total opinion

Uncharted 2 has over 100 Awards - Fact
Half-Life 2 has over 100 Awards - Fact

Now was them awards given based off opinions or facts, well that is another question :)

Wow. Are there really degreed, employed journalists who make a living covering electronic gaming? Whatever.

[sparesoul]

No, I was going to get off the computer but I just have to come back and leave this note.
You found this critical report on the insanely crucial world of video games. You found it on N4G.... Are you kidding me? Half the time, you click on the psp tab to find out what's new on the PSP and half the stories are "Naruto totally licks balls on the SEGA master system 5" or " study some chick as she learns how to develop games at Devry" or some other bullshit. This isn't real news, these are NOT real journalists, and you aren't going to benefit anything from this site because it gives you about a third of what you used to be able to get from the old GAMEPRO magazines.

Oh yeah, while I'm here, print... that's another thing pissing me off. So I just let my subscriptions for OPSM and OXBM run out because they are 30+ page advertisements. They celebrate games until those said games come out and suck, and then they just give them pissy reviews and move on to the next hype round.
Magazines used to give walk-throughs and cheats ( when cheats were alternate costumes, secret locations etc. ) What the hell happened. ?

Jesus I'm glad I have more going on in my life than this.
